Capabilities

Everything a connected AI app can do in your workspace, and the permission each one needs.

When you approve a connection you choose which of two permissions to grant:

PermissionCovers
ViewEverything under Reading below.
Create and updateEverything under Writing below.

Grant view only and every writing capability is refused, with a message saying it needs write access.

Reading

Finding your way around

CapabilityWhat it does
Get workspace hierarchyReturns the tree β€” spaces, their folders and subfolders, and the projects in each. This is how the app learns what exists before doing anything else.
List membersThe people in the workspace, with their roles. Used to work out who to assign a task to when you name someone.
Get docs hierarchyThe documents tree β€” folders, pages and sub-pages you have access to.

Tasks

CapabilityWhat it does
List tasksOpen tasks, optionally just yours or just one project's.
Get taskThe full detail of one task β€” description, status, priority, dates, project, assignees.
List overdue tasksOpen tasks past their due date, most overdue first, reckoned in your workspace's timezone.
Search tasksFinds tasks by title, across the workspace or within one project β€” for when you refer to a task by name.
Get task commentsReads a task's comment thread, with author names.

Docs

CapabilityWhat it does
Search docsFinds document pages by title, with the document each belongs to.

Messages are sent as you

Chat messages and comments an AI app posts appear under your name, with no marking to say a machine wrote them. Read what it is about to send before you approve it.

What is deliberately not here

  • No permission or billing changes. Roles, invitations, plans and payment details cannot be touched over a connection.
  • No permanent deletion. Deleting sends things to Trash; emptying Trash is something you do in the app.
  • No access to another workspace, and no way to ask for one.
  • No reading of private locations you are not a member of β€” not even for the workspace owner's connection.

Frequently asked questions

Can a connected AI app see my whole workspace?

Only the parts you can see. It acts as you, so the same space, project and folder permissions apply, and private locations you are not a member of stay invisible.

Can it delete my work permanently?

No. Deleting a task moves it to Trash, exactly as deleting it in the app does, and you can restore it from there.

Can it move data between my workspaces?

No. A connection is bound to one workspace at approval time and has no way to name another.
